Brief description of the project:

Quantum computing has the potential to revolutionise a variety of fields, including cryptography, machine learning, materials science and drug discovery. However, challenges such as lack of standardised tools, specialised training, access to infrastructure and limited industrial collaboration are hindering its progress. The QEC4QEA project aims to overcome these barriers by building a single platform that accelerates the development and integration of quantum-enhanced applications across scientific and industrial domains. The project will provide resources such as a hardware-independent library of applications, benchmarking tools, compilers, APIs and curated access to high-performance computing and quantum computing infrastructures. A training programme and helpdesk will support scientists and developers in building and integrating quantum-enhanced solutions. This outreach strategy will foster collaboration between academia and industry and translate scientific advances into commercial applications.
